Lyrics

1.
Taxman
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

If you drive a car
I'll tax the street
If you try to sit
I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold
I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk
I'll tax your feet
Taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Beware the pennies on your eye
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me
2.
Eleanor Rigby
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

I'm Only Sleeping
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don't wake me, no don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
'Til they find there's no need

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don't wake me, no don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

Love You To
Each day just goes so fast
I turn around, it's past
You don't get time to hang a sign on me
Love me while you can
Or I'll get a plan
A lifetime is so short
A new one can't be bought
And what you've got means such a lot to me

Make love all day long, make love singing songs
Make love all day long, make love singing songs

There's people standing 'round
Who'll screw you in the ground
They'll fill you in with all the things you'll see
I'll make love to you if you want me to
5.
Here, There and Everywhere
To lead a better life
I need my love to be here

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
6.
Yellow Submarine
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

She Said She Said
She said
"I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad"
And she's making me feel like I've never been born

I said
"Who put all those things in your hair
Things that make me feel that I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I've never been born"

She said
"You don't understand what I said"
I said
"No, no, no you're wrong
When I was a boy
Everything was right, everything was right"

I said
"Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born"

She said
"You don't understand what I said"
I said
"No, no, no you're wrong
When I was a boy
Everything was right, everything was right"

I said
"Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born"

Good Day Sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

And then we lie beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
9.
And Your Bird Can Sing
You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me

You say you've seen seven wonders
And your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me

When your prized possessions
Start to wear you down
Look in my direction
I'll be 'round
I'll be 'round

When your bird is broken
Will it bring you down
You may be awoken
I'll be 'round
I'll be 'round

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swim
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me
10.
For No One
Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone, but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
11.
Doctor Robert
Ring my friend, I said you'd call
Dr. Robert
Day or night he'll be there anytime at all
Dr. Robert

Dr. Robert
You're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can
Dr. Robert

If you're down he'll pick you up
Dr. Robert
Take a drink from his special cup
Dr. Robert

Dr. Robert
He's a man you must believe
Helping everyone in need
No one can succeed like Dr. Robert

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Dr. Robert

My friend works with the national health
Dr. Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself with
Dr. Robert

Dr. Robert
You're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can
Dr. Robert

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Dr. Robert
12.
I Want to Tell You
I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words they seem to slip away

When I get near you
The game begin to drag me down
It's all right
I'll make you maybe next time around

But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things

I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time

Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand

I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time
I've got time
I've got time
13.
Got to Get You Into My Life
I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe
I could see another kind of mind there
Oh, then I suddenly see you
Oh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life?

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had told you
Oh, you were meant to be near me
Oh, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Oh, then I suddenly see you
Oh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life?

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe
I could see another kind of life there
Oh, then I suddenly see you
Oh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day

Tomorrow Never Knows
Turn off your mind, relax, and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving
So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
